Sonos is the OG of multiroom audio. Sonos speakers allow you to listen to music around your home over a stable Wi-Fi connection, rather than relying on spotty Bluetooth. It has expanded its lineup over the years and now offers a wide range of speakers, from outdoor and tabletop speakers to soundbars and subwoofers.
The company’s speakers are rarely discounted, but Sonos will unleash its Black Friday deals from Nov. 20-28 with 20% off the Arc, Beam, Sub, One and One SL, and Roam SL. If you can’t wait until until Sunday, both Best Buy and Sonos offer refurbished products which look and feel new and come with a full warranty. For example, you can currently save $30 on a Sonos Roam speaker in white or save $28 on a black Sonos Ray soundbar via the Geek Squad-certified refurbished program.
Looking to buy new? There are a few speaker sets on sale at Sonos if you’re looking for a multispeaker setup. For example, you can save $30 on a Roam and Move set or save $20 on a pair of Roam speakers. You can also save $50 on a pair of Five speakers or $60 on a Move and Arc soundbar set.
Sonos has long been known for its stellar sound quality, and its latest S2 operating system supports hi-res audio standards like Dolby Atmos. Wi-Fi playback is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect, as well as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands, so you can cast audio directly without needing to use the Sonos app. In addition, Sonos’ portable speakers add versatility with Bluetooth playback.
We’ve assembled Sonos’ most popular products here and will update this story on Nov. 20 once more Sonos speakers are on sale.

The Roam is the smallest and most affordable speaker in the Sonos lineup. It’s weatherproof and gets its Roam moniker for its ability to switch automatically between Wi-Fi when you’re at home and Bluetooth when you’re, well, roaming. You can bark voice commands at it via Alexa or Google Assistant when the speaker is on your Wi-Fi network. And we found it produces impressive sound for a speaker its size. It’s available as part of the Adventure Set two-pack for $338.

The SL version of the Roam omits the microphone and costs $20 less. It’s a good pick if you want to save money or have privacy concerns about Amazon or Google listening to you inside your home.
The Move is Sonos’ largest portable smart speaker. It offers the same Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as the Roam and is weatherproofed, too, for use indoors and out. It’s considerably bigger than the Roam and costs more than twice as much, but it also produces bigger sound with better bass. It is currently available as a bundle with the Roam for a $30 discount.

The Sonos One combines speaker smarts, sound quality and affordability. It supports both Alexa and Google Assistant and boasts a bigger, fuller sound than nearly every other smart speaker. It also supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth playback, giving it some versatility even if you shouldn’t leave it outdoors.

The SL skips the microphone and Amazon and Google voice commands, and costs $20 less than the Sonos One.

The Five is a big tabletop speaker that operates over Wi-Fi. It doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity or an onboard voice assistant. It can be positioned horizontally for stereo sound and switches to mono sound when sitting vertically. With its 3.5mm audio jack, you can connect a turntable, CD player or another device directly to the Five.

The second-gen Beam is a compact soundbar with Dolby Atmos that makes movies sound huge with its virtual surround capabilities. It’s also a smart speaker with Alexa and Google Assistant on board.

The Sonos Arc is one of the best soundbars you can buy. Unlike the Beam, the Arc packs in an integrated subwoofer. Even though it costs hundreds more than the Beam, you don’t need to buy a separate subwoofer to rattle the windows.
Sonos
To get the thumping bass in music and the explosions in movies that you want to be able to not only hear but also feel, add the Sonos Sub to your setup. It connects easily and wirelessly over Wi-Fi and will round out your home theater’s sound by handling the low frequencies.
